It pretty much goes without saying that Alan Coren is one of the best humorists in modern Britain. His columns in The Times and his contributions to The News Quiz are sharp as hell, and he's one of the last great exponents of a rich vein of middle-class middle-brow humour. (I know that in our present yoof-obsessed mediocracy this would be seen as an insult, but round these parts we still treasure tradition.)
